Description

President Harry S. Truman, in cap and leather jacket, (second from left) strides across the flight deck of Aircraft Carrier U.S.S. Franklin D. Roosevelt as Captain Charles T. Mauro, Charleston, South Carolina, points out a flight maneuver during Eight Fleet war games off the Virginia Capes. In the background, left to right, are Brig. Gen. Harry Vaughan, Presidential Military Aide, Captain Clark Clifford, Presidential Naval Aide, and John R. Steelman, Special Assistant to the President. The maneuvers were designed to give the President a close-up show of how carriers turned back Japanese fleets at Midway, Coral Sea, and the Philippines. This is an unretouched, cropped version of 68-1815, and is an oversize 14" x 16" photo on heavy card stock. From: Office of President Truman.
